And finally, to wrap up out ultra-block of episodes: IndyCar at Gateway for the Bommarito 500, and in shocking news - Josef Newgarden, even on one good leg, is still fast enough to keep his status as the best Oval Racer in the world.
It was a race of unpredictability and adaptability. We had multiple cautions for crashes, such as Alex Palou and Nolan Siegel combining, with Siegel coming off the worst of it, Graham Rahal off at Turn 4 too. We had multiple rain showers across the race that led to red flags, and a mighty strategic screw up for Chip Ganassi Racing that led to Scott Dixon taking emergency service and Alex Palou losing 2 laps due to running out of fuel on pit road. Disasater for the reigning Champion.
At the front, a fight between three men in IndyCar crossroads - Josef Newgarden, still waiting for a new contract for 2027, and hanging around 6th in points, below his usual high standards. Christian Rasmussen, getting a new contract design on paper, an awful season where he's barely in the leader's circle. And Marcus Ericsson, who faces a fight to keep his job at Andretti Global. What will happen in the future for a talented podium that needs results?
And Dre has to poor some cold water on Myles Rowe's Indy NXT comeback of the Gods as he went from 24th to the win. All that on another Motorsport101!

Episode 3 of the big ol' block of Podcasts, as RJ swaps out for Cameron Buckley and Dre sits down to review the 2026 Hungarian Grand Prix for MotoGP and uh-oh... Marc Marquez might be back here. 
It was a dominant second weekend back from injury for the Ant Man, who had a perfect weekend of 37 points to take not only his 100th Grand Prix win, but also the 100th victory for the Factory Ducati squad. The gang discuss how Pedro Acosta became Marquez's main threat for victory, and despite a hard fight, how Marquez survived Acosta's assault. 
But the weekend will also be just as well known for Jorge Martin's horrifying crash at Turn 1, where he lost control into the corner and wiped out himself, Marco Bezzecchi, Raul Fernandez, Fabio di Giannantonio and Fermin Aldeguer. It leaves Marquez 72 points back with 13 races to go in the season. Just like that, is Aprilia vulnerable again? 
Also discussed, how this is seemingly the end of Balaton Park as a MotoGP venue as the sport moves back to Aragon for 2027, and some of the new rules coming in for the season, such as the Concorde agreement and only having one bike on the grid for Friday sessions. Keep it locked in, on Motorsport101!

Part 2 of our mega catch-up omnibus edition of the M101 Podcast, and in it, RJ sticks around with Dre and reviews F1's Monaco Grand Prix. 
And with it, yet more history as Kimi Antonelli would take his fifth win in a row, a Grand Slam victory on the streets of Monaco, the youngest driver ever to score a race win, from pole, scoring the fastest lap of the race, and leading every single lap in the process. A dominant, crushing win that extended his Championship lead to 66 points. Is this title fight already over?
Behind him? Chaos. The Ferrari's fighting amongst themselves for supremacy as Charles Leclerc suffers what seemed to be a brake failure as he clattered into the wall at Anthony Nogues. We had 6 different speeding in the pitlane penalties as well as a right to review for Alpine due to drivers cutting the pitlane exit? Why? Because Pierre Gasly had a podium finish slip through his hands, We had George Russell take a Drive Through Penalty for Mercedes' total incompetence in the pitlane themselves, and the small matter of Max Verstappen's race ending via an engine failure on the first lap.
All that and more into the FIA's new ADUO programme, on another Motorsport101!

It's one of the most wide open Le Mans in recent years, and we don't know how the ACO has sized everyone up, welcome to our Le Mans 24 Hours Preview for 2026 with Dre Harrison hosting alongside Daily Sportscar's own RJ O'Connell.
It's a comprehensive nearly 100 minute preview featuring chat about the LMGT3 class, and who could take glory there, as well as a lengthy reaction to the ACO now banning public discourse about the Balance of Performance rules that dictate manufacteurs in the series. Will BMW and Corvette fight again? Can Ferrari give Dre a rare class win in the prediction stakes as Lilou Wadoux attempts to make history?
How about the stacked LMP2 class, with Doriane Pin heading back to Le Mans after F1 Academy success? Where will Porsche factory drivers Kevin Estre and Julien Andlauer end up? And will Inter Europol and Panis Racing collide again?
And finally, a comprehensive look at every factory runner in the field's Hypercar class as 18 cars battle for win, as Alpine says goodbye, we say hello to Genesis and ponder whether this is the last attempt of the era for Toyota Racing's core. Is Ferrari playing the sandbag game again?

IndyCar's morning after the night before as Dre Harrison and RJ O'Connell review their Streets of Detroit round, with a bonus bit of chat about IMSA's Detroit Sprint Race the day before.
Given Detroit is their home ground, it was a rough day for Chevy as Alex Palou took his third pole position in a row, and despite some swings and roundabouts for strategy, held off Kyle Kirkwood at the end of the race to take his fourth win of 2026, and extending his Championship lead to 62 points. But how we got there involved another tough set of crashes for ECR, Santino Ferrucci in the wars again, and more clumsy driving around a really unforgiving layout.
Also included, a deep dive on IndyCar's new caution rules being put to the test, how a more in jured Josef Newgarden than we thought was actively claiming to be benched for the race, and some industrial sized beef between former teammates Scott McLaughlin and Will Power, that somehow wasn't penalised. Where did Dre put that beehive?
